Business ProfileforMetro Chicago Development

This company stole $125 from me on April 1, 2022. Their owner, *********************, sent out an electrician to give an estimate on a problem I was having in my home--the electricity was out in rooms in my home. The electrician told me that to fix the issue, I need to add more circuits to my home and that would cost around $1,200 for the job. Weighing my options, I decided to go through my home warranty, who later fixed the issue quickly and differently. However, the electrician from Metro Chicago Development who came charged me $125 for his visit. I thought it was weird at the time because Metro Chicago Development has never charged me for an estimate before, but I did not question it at that time because I thought their protocol changed. Recently, I decided to revisit the conversation I had with their electrician of adding more circuits to my home. I contacted **** and asked if I would have to pay another fee to his company for an estimate on the same problem. I learned at that time, I was wrongly charged $125 back in April 2022. **** informed me that his company does not charge for estimates and he will credit me $125 for the inconvenience. When asking for and receiving a refund on another project I paid for partially, I asked **** if I can be refunded the $125 I was credited, he only responded "No." I asked for more of an explanation and why he is going back on his word. He proceeded to fabricate stories about how the electrician completed a job when he came to my home, April 1, 2022; and since there's no proof that he did or did not complete anything he will not be refunding me the $125. He also said I could reach out to the electrician (who works for him) and ask if he could return my $125. This is bad business, fraud, and misleading practices to customers. This type of treatment of customers is unacceptable.
